@dcalderon Power BI report server doesn't support all the features that are in the Power BI Desktop, so you may struggle to convert back to the report server. Sometimes when you click the yellow 'close' button it still opens successfully, just without those preview features enabled, but sometimes that's not possible for it to do.

Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.
